"Toothsome, smart, and darkly glittering, Rabbit & Juliet is a tour de force and one of my favorite reads of the year." --Brittany Cavallaro, New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Charlotte
Mixing the complicated queer love from People Like Us and the dark snark of Do Revenge--with searing commentary on misogyny and rape culture à la The Female of the Species--Pushcart Prize-winning author Rebecca Stafford wraps a haunting story inside an irreverent contemporary novel about agency, grief, and toxic first loves.
Seventeen-year-old Rabbit has been struggling to stay above water since her mom died. In the span of a year and half, her small Georgia town has become unbearably hellish: Her ex-boyfriend, resident golden boy Richard, turned into an unrelenting stalker; her friends are nonexistent; and her dad is campaigning hard for Functioning Alcoholic of the Year.
But all that changes when the sarcastic, gorgeous, and frustratingly impenetrable Juliet Bergman walks into Rabbit's life. All hard angles and James Dean bravado, Juliet throws Rabbit a life preserver just before her depression threatened to sink her.
Then one morning, Rabbit's ex-best-friend Sarah--Richard's current girlfriend--shares a horrific discovery about Richard and his crew that pitches Rabbit back into darkness. The three girls vow to enact revenge on the boys for what they've been doing to unsuspecting girls at parties. With Juliet leading the charge and demanding blind loyalty from the girls, Rabbit falls harder for her than she thought possible. It isn't until Rabbit is faced with a startling act of violence that she must decide how far she's willing to go--for herself, for Juliet, and for justice--when love and grief threaten to topple everything.

"Toothsome, smart, and darkly glittering, RABBIT & JULIET is a tour de force and one of my favorite reads of the year." -- --Brittany Cavallaro, New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Charlotte
"Powerful and provocative, Stafford explores toxic relationships in all their forms. A deep dive that asks what's right, what's wrong, and who is trustworthy." -- --Mindy McGinnis, Edgar Award-winning author of The Female of the Species
"Rebecca Stafford perfectly captures the obsession, passion, violence, and wry wit of teenage girlhood in her powerhouse YA debut. Rabbit & Juliet is a rare, dark gem." -- --Kit Frick, author of I Killed Zoe Spanos
"I love it when I can root for morally questionable people doing morally questionable things. Prose and protagonists so sharp you could cut yourself--what's not to love?" -- --Claire Eliza Bartlett, author of The Good Girls
"Told with wry humor and a sense of impending dread, the narrative homes in on how easy it is to misplace your trust--whether in people you've known your whole life or someone new. The impact of misogyny reverberates throughout the book, which centers on girls who want to speak out but are cautious to do so. It also offers a window into the complexities of how vengeance feels while taking a hard look at the consequences of revenge. A thrilling ride into the heart of a dangerous friendship." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Hand this darkly comic coming-of-age psychological thriller revenge fantasy to readers who love movies like Bottoms or Do Revenge." -- Booklist
